Wallpaper - Add Some Spice

Our Add Some Spice wallpaper by Tono Balaguer brings an energetic, photographic composition of fresh red chili peppers directly to the wall. The design is densely packed with glossy, curving chilies in vivid cherry red, punctuated by small accents of crisp green stems. What catches our attention is the rhythmic layering of the peppers, where smooth highlights and curved shapes create a lively visual depth across the entire surface. This food-focused motif works especially well in cooking and dining areas where you want a bold, warm focal point. Like all our wall murals, it is made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical paper structure.

In the room

Because of the high-contrast palette and tight, detailed composition, we like this design best on an accent wall in a kitchen or around a dedicated dining nook. In an open-plan kitchen, placing the motif along a dining wall helps anchor the eating zone while keeping the vibrant pattern contained to a clear architectural surface. A smaller, well-defined wall allows the photographic detail of the peppers to stand out without competing with rows of overhead cabinetry. The warm cherry red tones feel particularly rich in standard daylight and take on a deeper, cozier glow under warm pendant lighting during dinner.

Styling it

To let the saturated red pattern lead the room, we suggest keeping surrounding furniture and architectural elements simple and clean.

• Pair the wallpaper with smooth painted cabinetry in muted charcoal, warm white, or deep forest green to create a grounded, deliberate frame around the motif.
• Introduce dark metal hardware or clean-lined dining furniture, allowing the graphic outlines of chairs and tables to balance the curved organic shapes of the chilies.
• Keep wall decor on adjacent surfaces minimal so the accent wall remains the primary visual feature in the room.

Colour combinations

The pattern is defined by saturated cherry red, deeper shaded reds, and bright green stems, with subtle white photographic highlights across the skins. When choosing paint for adjoining walls and woodwork, warm off-white or soft linen creates a clean, bright contrast that lets the red tones pop. If you prefer a darker, more dramatic interior, deep charcoal, slate grey, or an earthy forest green pick up on the stems and shadowy undertones, creating a grounded, contemporary backdrop.
